Yeah, um, OK. Listen, I don't think you understand. I own and play each console almost daily. I'm as unbiased as it gets, and the multiplatform games look near identical. Sure, on paper there is a slight difference, but in real life, almost no one will be able to pick out the difference between upscaled 900p and native 1080p, unless they are right next to the TV and seriously looking for it. No, in this case, console preference should not come down to multplatform graphics, since both look too similar to make a case for buying one just for those graphics. The main differences, like I said before, include controller preference, online preference, UI, multimedia features, and exclusives preference. If you want, I'll even give you a comparison, since it's looking like you haven't played both enough to see the similarities and differences. Controller PS4 Xbone My preference: I think the Xbox One controller is a bit more comfortable in the hand, but the PS4 controller is much better than the PS3 controller. I also prefer the buttons on the PS4 controller, simply because the clickiness of the Xbox One bumpers and D-Pad get on my nerves. The deal breaker for me with this, though, is that the PS4 controller runs out of charge very fast. I can barely get 4-6 hours of play before needing to charge. I'll gladly swap out batteries if it means not needing to charge every few hours, so this round goes to the Xbox One. Online PSN XBL My Preference: I own a Vita, PS4, and PS3, so I get a lot of mileage out of PS+. There are also some really awesome indie titles on the PS Store, which I really like. While I own a 360 and a One, I hardly use the 360 any more, so the free 360 games mean little for me. I also don't use most of MS or Sony's services, so those are a wash for me. I have to give this round to the PS4, but overall people should choose whichever network has the most of their friends as members.
PS4 My Preference: The promotions on the Xbox One dashboard are a dealbreaker for me, they are distracting and stupid. The lag on the UI is also kinda distracting and takes away from the experience. While I'm still hoping Sony will implement better ways to categorize games and apps to find them faster, I really like the the simple UI, even if it isn't very customizable. This one goes to the PS4. PS4 My Preference: Xbox One, and it isn't even close. The PS4 has almost no multimedia capabilities whatsoever apart from paid services and bluray disc and MP3 playing. Exclusives PS4
My Preference: I don't have one. I love the exclusives on both sides, hence why I own both consoles. I don't think there is one console that I could say definitively has the best exclusives (well, other than the Wii U, but that's a different story all together). |
youre opnion is that of a multi console owner so of course you find things to nippick on the ps4, you arent limited to having a choice to make so i give you my opinion as well. Even if i dont own any of these consoles yet(tough i played ps4 by my brother).
Yes 900p vs 1080p is noticeble to me, i am a pc gamer and i played with these resolutions on my tv various of times and the difference is noticeble even far away.
The battery thing i dont really understand and never understood, if you hate to recharge what makes xbox so much better if you have to go to various of times and buy your batteries or recharging it on a battery station? Doesnt take this time as well and is also just as or even more annoying? Not too mention that it takes more power (higher eletricity bill) and is bad for the enverioment. The battery life on playstation controllers can hold for days if you just turn off vibrations which is a ueseless feature, imo.
Third i would never buy a console for its multimedia features thats the least important thing to care and most of these features of the xbox dont even work in europe like the hdmi input/output or the services like netflix etc arent even avaible here. Not that i would care in the first place.
